1244 Three-way melee 3
Earl Spee is not as accurate as Ruprecht and Hippel in terms of calculations. However, his overall view is very good and his action is very strong. He knows what to do under what circumstances. When the Reshadier was besieged by Russian battleships and British bombers, the Earl's first reaction was that if he didn't go out, then under the naval and air strike between the British and Russian armies, the Reshadier would definitely be destroyed. What would happen? He lost a precious fast battleship, and then after the British bomber group evacuated, he would repel the Russian fleet.&1t;/p>
If you go out, two fast battleships can cause tons of damage while the Russian fleet is not prepared, and it is possible for a confidant to kill a fearless man. Although it will attract the attention of British bombers, look at the number of British bombers now, there are only two digits of British bombers hovering over the battlefield! "The opponent's attack is also at the end of the last force, and their remaining firepower is not even enough to severely damage Prince Eugen or Tegerhof. In this case, I think it is appropriate to exchange the moderate damage of the warship for the vitality of a battleship." So, in this case, three German battleships rushed out of the smoke screen. The destroyers were also divided into two teams, one fighting with the flagship, and the other trying to cover the Resardier.&1t;/p>
At present, this plan has been successful. Almost all British bombers still carrying bombs and torpedoes rushed towards the Count's fleet, while the Resardier began to gradually withdraw from the battlefield under the cover of the destroyer. At this time, there was no force that could threaten the staggering giant ship.&1t;/p>
As for the small number of British bombers that were not coordinated? This is not a big threat to Earl Spee's fleet. The remaining eight British bombers were divided into two teams, including 5 attacking the Earl's flagship Prince Eugen, while the other 3 ran towards the Teghov, which had just escaped the attack of Russian destroyers.&1t;/p>
Three destroyers blocked the only way for British bombers. After entering the attack route, the bulky FB27 bombers were even very difficult to change the flight direction. The three destroyers and Prince Eugen behind them concentrated all their high-fire firepower to open fire. At least 5 88mm guns and 2-pound guns with more than 1o gates jumped on the sea and flew to a target not far away!&1t;/p>
The anti-aircraft gun, which was played by the 88mm anti-lightning gun, was not effective, and the artillery fired a little slowly. The most important thing is that it was not flexible enough, the rotation angle was too slow, and the pitch angle was also low. However, the 4omm machine gun produced in Bavaria performed very well. After successfully driving away two British bombers, the third bomber was finally smashed. The 4-fist shell directly destroyed the motive of a fb27 bomber. Then, the wings of the aircraft tilted and fell straight into the sea, turning into a pile of debris.&1t;/p>
The three bombers attacking the Teghov did not achieve any results. They had no torpedoes, only bombs. If only three bombers could hit the Teghov, which had aerial capacity in the 24th quarter, then it can only be said that God today is sleeping...&1t;/p>
"Go away now! While the Germans have not yet rushed over!" When the British bombers attacked the Count's fleet in order to cover the Russian Black Sea Fleet, when the Russian destroyer was braved by the opponent's side-string firepower like a volcano eruption, Lieutenant General Eberhardt glanced at the battleship Resardier, which was almost withdrawing from his sight, and the German fleet that was dealing with various troubles in the distance, issued a retreat order in a surprised and even puzzled look at everyone present!&1t;/p>
"Don't execute it quickly, give the other two former dreadnoughts signals to tell them to withdraw from the battlefield immediately! We will evacuate in a scattered manner." At this moment, Kolchak said loudly. "If you still want to go back alive." The Russian naval officer who woke up from his dream realized the seriousness of the problem. A few minutes later, the battleship of the Queen Maria turned first, and before leaving, Lieutenant General Eberhardt raised the signal flag and told the Emperor Alexander III that they could deal with the battleship if necessary.&1t;/p>
"We have lost, aren't we?" Eberhardt's hands trembled slightly. He tried to grab the cup next to him twice, but neither succeeded. The frustration, fear, helplessness and depression caused by failure made him breathless like nooses. The lieutenant general's face was pale, and beads of sweat fell drop by drop. It seemed as if he had suddenly become ten years old.&1t;/p>
"But you have tried your best, Lieutenant General, this is not our fault." Major General Kolchak said with a serious face. "At least the Allied Mediterranean Fleet has also paid a heavy price. Turkey's industrial foundation is very poor. They are unable to repair these warships. We have pushed them to the brink of collapse, and Britain and France can help us complete the last step."&1t;/p>
"Is that right? I hope that, I hope you can help me take care of the Black Sea Fleet. We at least made them pay unimaginable prices, right? So, just let me take responsibility alone." Eberhart whispered. At this moment, he seemed to be hollowed out. After saying this, he never spoke again.&1t;/p>
The entire plan had failed. Even as Colonel Schott said, at dawn, the British bomber troops had lost half of their losses when they almost didn't enter the field on time! In the subsequent hours of battle, the British and Russians tried their best to make up for it, but the Germans were also prepared. With the Count's mistake and the German air force tried their best to resist, the Allies lost the war in this battle outside Port Erely!&1t;/p>
Of course, you can't say that the British have nothing to gain. They have at least one fearless and one quasi-fair. According to the situation in Turkey, the severely damaged battleship Reshadiller is probably not completely repaired within the next 4 months, and these two battleships are equivalent to completely eliminating them from the future Battle of the Great Neil Strait. If two fearless battleships destroyed in Constantinople and an armored cruiser destroyed by Group C, then the Allied Mediterranean Fleet has lost half of the main battleship! Although there was no defeat of the opponent in one blow, this operation cannot be considered a failure overall!&1t;/p>
To be fair, this is indeed not good for the British, but it is also acceptable to win! But for the Russians, it is already very interesting to lose their pants now! So far, the Russian Black Sea Fleet can determine the losses as follows: the dauntless battleship Alexander III, the quasi-dreadnought Yefestalin and the Kinkou John, 1 cruiser, 8 destroyers! Half of the main battleship and auxiliary battleships have been lost, and the remaining battleships are even less powerful than any British battleship team!&1t;/p>
